Some people today believe that the world's increase in population is unsustainable and will eventually lead to a global crisis. Other people believe that world population increase is necessary and beneficial as it creates the growth of the world's economy and society.

The

population

of the

world

is ever-growing. Some people think that

this

increase has created an unsustainable situation and it will lead to a global crisis.

While

others believe that only through an increasing

population

can the

world

's economy and society develop.

This

population

increase is not constant around the

world

; the

population

is undergoing significant growth ,especially in less developed

countries

, and the continent of Africa is predicted to undergo the highest rise. Many individuals living in these less thrived

countries

frequently face shortages,

such

as water, food, heating, cooking fuel and medicines, and people have to live in substandard living conditions by Western standards. With more inhabitants, these dilemmas will become exacerbated and helping these

countries

may

also

create strain on the resources and economies of other

countries

.

On the other hand

, many

countries

are unable to reach their economic potential

due to

a lack of skilled workforces. For these

countries

a growing

population

can mean a stronger economy,

due to

that, a better standard of living. Rising populations could not only lead to a growing demand for goods but

also

allow economies to expand. The problem is,

however

, these

countries

that are in need of labour forces and increasing demand are already the more developed

countries

and they meet some of these needs by immigration and exporting goods.

To sum up

,

while

certain areas of the

world

are in need of larger workforces to develop their economies, the continuously rocketing

population

could potentially lead to a crisis within

countries

that already provide for their inhabitants.
